JERUSALEM (WNS) — In the wake of demands from the public and opposition leaders in the Knesset, the government is considering reinstating the death penalty for terrorists. But Justice Minister Haim Zadok, in making the announcement, cautioned that "we should not be guided by feelings of rage and disgust but rather by the basic issue which is its possible influence on the war against terrorist organizations". Restoration of the death penalty was one of the principal demands by demonstrators here from Maalot, Safad and Kiryat Shemona.
NEW YORK (WNS) — Despite the many studies under Jewish auspices showing the problem of the Jewish poor in getting access to government aid, the City of New York does not have enough information to come up with ways to handle the problem, according to Rabbi David Haymovitz, the new director of the office of special projects of the city's Social Service Department. He said he was aware of the problems of elderly Jews living in neglect in deteriorated areas and of those poor Jews living outside the city's 26 designated poverty areas who were neglected in city poverty aid programs for that reason. But Rabbi Haymovitz said additional information is needed for his office to make detailed recommendations to the Human Resources Administration, the city's super- agency which handles welfare and anti-poverty programs. Rabbi Haymovitz met recently for seven hours with representatives of a wide variety of Jewish* organizations, in the first of a series of fact-finding sessions. The meetings was arranged after Sanford Solender, executive vice-president of the New York Federation of Jewish Philanthropies, charged that the Jewish poor, particularly Hasidic Jews, were being igffored by anti-poverty agencies and were-harassed at welfare centers by other minority groups who resented their presence.
No Response from UN On Terrorism Issue; Release Of Post-Munich Report Withheld

UNITED NATIONS, (JTA)' — Rabbi Israel Miller, chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, said his meeting on May 21 with UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim left him "with a feeling of pessimism" because there was not real response from the United Nations toward the problem of terrorism. Rabbi Miller led a group of American
Jewish leaders who met for 45 minutes with Waldheim to press for UN action against terrorism lest the in¬ ternational organization "by its failure to act" appear "an accomplice to murder". But at a press conference later, Rabbi Miller said that
although Waldheim is "a fine gentleman with his heart in the right place" he is powerless to act as far as solving the problem of terrorism. The Jewish leaders urged that UNRWA Commissioner Sir John Rennie, stationed in Beirut
"root out" terrorist groups he ad quartered in Palestinian refugee camps run by the UN in Lebanon and refuse to give UN funds to camps that serve as terrorist bases. According to Rabbi Miller, Waldheim said

Scenes from the 1974 Regional N.C.S.Y. Convention held recently at Beth Jacob Synagogue.
Jewish Teens To Study In Memory Of Ma'alot
A. historical event took" place Saturday morning May 18 in Columbus during the recently held Regional Convention of the National Conference of Synagogue Youth, when during his sermon Rabbi -David Stavsky of the Beth Jacob Congregation asked for ten teenagers to volunteer to study Mishnayos in memory of the innocent teenagers who were brutally killed in
Maalot Israel the previous week. To his,surprise and to the amazement of every one in the packed synagogue, fifty four teenagers stood up and pledged to study twenty chapters of Mishnayot this year. At the closing banquet an additional sixty teenagers signed their names for this special project. The Mishne is part of the Talmud. It is a six volume work of Jewish - law and tradition which is
considered part of the Talmud. Since the word "Mishne" in Hebrew has the same letters as the word Neshame (soul), for the, centuries the study of Mishnayos was considered an important mystical elevation for the soul of the deceased. The Teenagers of the N.C.S.Y. Regional; Convention stood up as one "to study Torah (Mishnayos) this entire year in memory
because negotiations are still going on". Foreign Minister Abba Eban, who held a surprise midnight meeting with Kissinger after he returned from Damascus on May 22 said, "We still hope, but I cannot promise, that the agreement will be completed in the next few days". Damascus radio, announcing that Kissinger would return to Syria, said the Secretary represen¬ tatives to carry on negotiations in order to reach an agreement.
The mood among officials and observers here on May 23 wasv,' increasingly pessimistic in sharp contrast to the near euphoria that prevailed May 19 when it was announced that Kissinger had achieved Israeli and Syrian agreement on a
disengagement line. U.S. officials had expressed the view earlier that once the line was settled, everything elpe would "fall into place".
